I’ve gushed about the Sea Life Safari Eco-tour extensively on this blog.  It is that good.  it’s also something you can do over and over again and enjoy every time.

Up and down the Clearwater pier, you’ll find charter boats and guides ready to take you fishing in the intracoastal waters as well as the Gulf of Mexico.  Most boats will even clean and fillet whatever you catch – and it’s all yours to keep!
